haiku - reflection

frozen pond ...
autumn leaves fall 
into themselves



Author notes

Reflection haiku are difficult to write but seem to bring out some of the best images. A good idea for the contest! Thanks.

    Wow...this is an amazing image; I love the juxtapostion of autumn leaves and a frozen pond--warm versus cold, season melding into season. As always...masterful

    YES !
    this haiku blew me away the moment I read it ...
    I agree that this was a really, really difficult prompt ... I see wittiness and experience in silent observation at work here ...
    the serene scenario created by this powerful image offers more than one dimension of interpretation ... the more I let it soak in, the calmer my mind becomes ...
    a meditation in 11 syllables - wisdom compensated,
    ready to expand in the reader's heart ...

    thank you

      Thank you! I appreciate your extremely kind comment. Your contest prompted me to write, honestly, one of my very best haiku to date. I guess a poet never quite knows where these are going to come from or even when they're going to come. Fun stuff. A difficult, enjoyable contest with lots of great entries. Take care.

        I agree, don ...
        besides the one about the empty shoes, this haiku is one of the most masterful I have read from you until today ...
        so happy to see your gift expanding infinitely ...

    Serene observations

    on a crisp frosty morning. I like this, my mind is outside, still I sit in a room with no windows. I see by your title you're The haikumonk so I was hoping you could tell me if I broke any sacred haiku rules with my entry.....chael It's called Human Nature. And i give a tip of my hat to you.
